10. Milky Eyes
Mr. Yilmaz might hold one of the world’s most bizarre world records only because it involves milk. The Turkish construction worker is able to loudly snort milk up his nose and squirted out one of his eyes. Apparently there’s only a handful of people who can form this trick because of an anomaly in their tear gland. Since 2004, Yilmaz holds the record for farthest milk squirting distance which measures to 9 feet and 2 inches.

If you don’t believe that, her popped eyes were actually measured in Turkey in 2007. Goodman has proptosis, which is a term for eyeball displacement or bulging eyes. She discovered her quirk when she was hit on the head by a hockey mask. Now she can pop out her eyes on cue. Impressive!
